Bovine Collagen Type IV Description

Background

Bovine Collagen Type IV is one of a family of proteins found particularly in the flesh and connective tissues of mammals (approximately one-third of the body's total protein). Over two dozen types of collagen have been described, though Type IV in particular is involved in forming the foundation of cellular basement membranes, the lens of the eye, and within the capillaries of the glomeruli and nephron in the kidneys.

Bovine Collagen Type IV can be utilized as a control or standard reagent in Western Blotting and ELISA experiments. Bovine Collagen Type IV is stable at 4° C as an undiluted liquid and should only be diluted to working range(s) just prior to use. Storing dilutions is not recommended.
